ABSTRACT
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) monopile dolphins are replacing timber piling clusters for the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry terminals in Virginia. Adoption of this technology has resulted in both significant acquisition and maintenance cost savings for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) which operates its ferry system as a free service to the public. The large 48-in. diameter monopiles replaced clusters of 37 timbers. The design of the FRP pile system was the subject of an award-winning paper by M. A. McCarty at the 2016 PORTS conference. The first set of monopiles was installed in 2019. Operational feedback from the VDOT has been extremely positive as the agency continues to implement its plan to replace wood cluster dolphins with FRP monopiles.
